** In ''Super Star Wars'', Luke is a far more capable fighter than he is in the movie, gunning down lots of hostile animals and a sandcrawler full of jawas before he even meets Ben Kenobi -- when he does, he immediately starts swinging a lightsaber at enemies. He also notably is able to beat Darth Vader in ''Super Empire'' despite being outclassed by the Sith Lord.

* ActionGirl: Leia is a playable character in ''Super Jedi'', and even has a handy {{charge attack}}. Slave Leia on the Sail Barge level may actually have the most powerful weapon attack ''in the entire Trilogy''.

* DoubleJump: In the sequels.sequels, replacing the first game's Super Jump.



* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: ''Super Empire'' gives Chewie a recharging spin attack, which he can use to mow through enemies, which he retains in ''Super Jedi''. The latter gives the same attack to Slave Leia.



* GoGoEnslavement: Leia's infamous slave bikini is one of her outfits, worn during the fight inside Jabba's sail barge.
* IconicOutfit: Leia has two in ''Jedi'': Her Boushh disguise, and the [[GoGoEnslavement slave bikini]] only available on the Sail Barge level. Both are primarily melee attackers, who also have a ranged ChargeAttack.



* RequiredPartyMember: Of a sort. While in ''Super Star Wars'' you can select any character you want from Luke, Han, and Chewie, in ''Empire'' each level is played from a particular character. ''Jedi'' mixes the two: Every level has a Character Select screen, however which characters are available will vary (for example, the Rancor Pit can be played as Luke, Han, or Chewie, while the Shield Generator swaps out Luke for Leia). Some levels only allow you a single choice (Leia on the Sail Barge, Wicket in the Ewok Village levels, and Luke on the Death Star).

* UndergroundMonkey:
** Recurs throughout the trilogy, (IE, Mynocks recur in various colors and environments in all three games) but is particularly noticeable in ''Empire'', where Luke has to face some of the same enemies on both Hoth and Dagobah, just as palette swaps.
** There's one example with the ''player'' character: Leia in ''Super Jedi'' appears as three different characters:
*** She's first available as Leia Boushh in her disguise from the beginning of the film, armed with a staff which plays sort of like Luke's lightsaber, (including attacking while using the DoubleJump) while also possessing a ranged charge attack.
*** During the Sail Barge level she becomes Leia Slave, wearing her {{iconic|Outfit}} [[GoGoEnslavement bikini]]. Like Boushh, Leia Slave is primarily melee (using her chain as a whip) with a ranged charge attack. However she's ''also'' given her own version of Chewie's [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning Spin Attack]] on top of this (Slave Leia also may have the highest attack power of ''any character in the entire game trilogy'').
*** Finally on Endor, she becomes Leia Rebel, who plays more like Luke in ''Super Star Wars'' before acquiring his lightsaber, armed only with a blaster.
